Space Systems Engineering (16.83X) is the astronautical capstone course option in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Between Spring 2002 and Spring 2003, the course was offered in a 3-semester format, using a Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (C-D-I-O) teaching model. 16.83X is shorthand for the three course numbers: 16.83, 16.831, and 16.832. The first semester (16.83) is the Conceive-Design phase of the project, which results in a detailed system design, but precedes assembly. The second semester (16.831) is the Implement phase, and involves building the students' system. The final semester (16.832) is the Operate phase, in which the system is tested and readied to perform in its intended environment.

Space Systems Engineering (16.83X) is a complex sequence of three courses. The focus of each course differs because each deals with a distinct stage of product development. The 16.83/16.831/16.832 program plan contains details of the project itself, as well as scheduling, grading and communications.


The program plan below contains some references to course numbers 16.684, 16.685, 16.686, and 16.68x. These numbers served as temporary course numbers for 16.83X. This course sequence has now passed the experimental phase and has adopted its permanent course numbers of 16.83, 16.831, 16.832 (also known collectively as 16.83X).
